Hi Chris,

Glad to hear it’s quicker to remove reviews now, though it’s still tedious to do it one by one… fortunately it’s not me personally who has to do it here! ;-)

There are a couple of specific review report ideas but I haven’t added a more general one because of the lack of votes. (If we just had a query tool on our data though… but that’s for the upcoming discussions on data access/reporting/API.)

Sadly I did know about the functionality of reviewing and changing votes, and I’ve already spent a lot of time trying to reprioritise things, reduce votes, get colleagues to vote, etc, but there are too many ideas that are important to us. Hopefully with the impending ideas review/clean-up, things will become a lot easier – I’m really looking forward to that :-)

Thanks,

The new release makes it really, really quick to Remove from view for completed reviews - try it!

A full review report would be useful, but you know what I am going to say next, is there an idea for it? ;-)

Finally, did you know you can reduce your votes on existing items from 2 down to 1 or even 0, giving you spare votes for a new idea? It might be worth re-casting your votes only to the items that are most important to you, enabling you to raise new ideas.

Hi Chris,

I know we’re an offender :-) Sometimes it is important to be able to see where we are in terms of reviews completed by various staff over certain periods of the year, so we are reluctant to remove them that quickly. Is there going to be a full reviews report any time soon, so we can use that instead of having to keep hundreds of reviews in the reviews screen?

Furthermore, you have to “remove from view” one at a time so we’re waiting on an enhancement to be able to tick multiple lists and remove them, or carry out any other action, in one go… (but I think that’s one I could only log with Keji, not on the Ideas site because I’m out of votes, so I can’t make a plea for people’s support here!).

Thanks,

Hi all,

We completed the release ahead of schedule, at around 8am this morning, at which point we made everyone read-write again. We'll monitor things throughout the day and I'll give an update in the week with some details of the improvements we've made.

One thing we did notice is that some customers have a very large amount of Completed reviews on the Reviews screen (i.e. hundreds) making the loading of this screen a lot slower than it needs to be. If you click "Remove from view" on a completed review it sets it to archived, and it will no longer display on the Reviews screen (although it will still appear on a list's review history).

Thanks,

Chris

Hi all,

We will be releasing the first phase of the database re-architecture work tomorrow, which means that some areas of the system will be read-only over night tonight.
